New Tool for GMail Users

[Ewizmo]

I've been a GMail user for awhile now, and like many, have begun to use
the storage available to do more than just email. I developed a simple
web site for my use so that I could easily and quickly label and send
messages to myself. A couple others thought it was useful, so I thought
I'd offer it to others as a tool.

If you're a GMail user, you can choose from several labels I use for
myself (or you can suggest others and I'll add them). The site,
www.ewizmo.com, also uses the + sign feature that GMail supports in the
email address. If you set up labels and filters in GMail to organize
the incoming notes, thoughts, action items, etc. you send, you can get
more things done and make your life a little
easier. Check the setup link for information on setting up labels and
filters in your email account.

Try it out and let me know if you think this is useful, or if you have
any suggestions. Feel free to spread the word and send my web link to
friends, family and business associates who might benefit. By the way,
this can be used with Yahoo, MSN and other email providers, and even
email clients (that support email filters or rules). But GMail labels
and filters are great.

Thanks.

I have had several nice people invite me to open a gmail account. Thank you
very much! I have my account now.

Zura -

Sounds like you got a few invitations. You can also request an invite
from me at http://www.ewizmo.com/contact.asp. I have a few left. All
I ask is that you return the favor and provide an GMail invite to
someone you know (and perhaps tell the about www.ewizmo.com too).

Thanks.

You know, I have had 50 invites in my gmail account for a while. Except
for a couple of friends, I have not given any out, just because it
seems so easy to get an account these days. But, I suppose I could
offer them, and am happy to give them away. If you want an gmail
account, send an e-mail to jason...@gmail.com, and I will reply with
an invite.

didn't know that google groups cut off the e-mail account names. So,
just for the record it is jasonellis "at" gmail "dot" com.

Regarding gmail invites - you could just give them to isnoop, as it has
an automated invite spooler: http://isnoop.net/gmail/

Having said that, though, it's got about a million available, so anyone
who wants one probably has one now!

Viral marketing is reaching its end... ;-)

[Ewizmo]

Reaching it's end may be true statement, but it's also a relative
statement. I would indicate that viral marketing has been pretty darn
effective, even if it's end is near.

Thanks for the comment.

Drop me an email and I will sort you out if nobody has done so yet

[Jason Ellis]

Checked that site out, so I could donate my invites, and as of 6/7/05,
it was shut down. From what the site owner said, GMail said it was no
longer "tolerable".

Go figure. So, my offer is still on the table. I still have 47 invites
in my account. If you want one, send to my e-mail as listed in my post
above.

same here: 50 to give away: jjleonard (at) gmail.com

TAN:

It sure seems that everyone has more gmail invites than he/she knows
what to do with. Add to this the fact that google keeps giving us more
and more storage space--I'm up to 2278 MB--and I start to wonder, "Why
is gmail still beta"?

As Xeni Jardin noted, "beta is the new black"
(http://www.boingboing.net/2005/04/05/mtv_launches_overdri.html). Is
gmail just trying to appeal to a younger, hipper crowd by calling
themselves beta? :-P

I also have gmail accounts available.

[Tim Morgan]

I like the ewizmo thinger; very cool. I often open up the gmail account
and email myself something, but ewizmo is perfect as a Firefox sidebar.
Nice work.

[Michael Langford]

Or you can use the following bookmarklet to do that.

Save it as a bookmark and selet the property "open in sidebar". Its
the same thing, with no extra computer in the loop.

replace the "michael.langford" with your gmail account name
replace "someday" with whatever you'd like to filter on

This link emails me at michael.langford+someday which is my
someday/maybe category on gmail.

beforehand, and then to be quite calm when things happen,
than to be extremely calm beforehand and to get into a panic
when things happen --Winston Churchill

[Michael Langford]

Oh yeah, its technically just a link, not a bookmarklet. Then again,
its in my bookmarklet folder still, so you understand. ;o)

Tim -

Thanks, and glad you find it useful.

I got your sugggestion about the custom label and have implemented
that, along with another feature to add a priority flag.

Tim -

On the Firefox sidebar mention, yes, this is one reason I formatted the
site like it is. It's also usable for most PDA's screen formats for
those that can connect to the internet wirelessly for example, and need
a quick way to send yourself a note.
